Tech in wrong hands: Car thieves make deviant use of Apple AirTags

Apple AirTags had made it easier for people to tag and monitor their gadgets in case they got lost.

Any innovation is good. But if such new age innovations fall into the wrong hands, it could mean catastrophe. Apple seems to have found that happening in its universe.

If you would remember, the Cupertino based technology behemoth had invented the AirTags, which was touted as a major step in the technology arena. These AirTags which made their advent in April last year was seen as a must have tech, considering the rate at which people misplaced their gadgets and were unable to find them.

With the arrival of AirTags, it became easier for people to tag and monitor their devices in case they got lost. Apple had made this possible and easy to use by helping device owners to link their gadgets to its own "Find My" network through Bluetooth signals. Made to secure and trace lost items, AirTags had been a hit with many Apple device owners going for it ever since it arrived.
